I've found this; it comes from Quickload 3.3



Quickload predicts a max. V/0 of 840 m/s with a 70 gr. Ballistic tip, for instance. Hope it helps.

i had no idea that Norma loaded it.
but why have they loaded it with the Nosler BT, wouldn't this bullet destroy most of the eatable meat of a black grouse, capercaille, etc?

from the ballistics it looks like a great cartridge for hunting scandinavian forest birds.
sort of a rimmed 6x45.

i couldn't find any brass on midway, is it hard to come by?

I belive that 70 grains 6 mm bullet is a hunting BT and not the Varmint BT that is avaliable in the .22 cal,

Round was concived to be used as relineing cl for old rook rifles and so on,

for 100 meters and less it´s great for roe and other small dear.

I haven´t heard of it being used for black birds, but it could, just reload and use a FMJ.

Very hard to come buy, get a 100 pieces and they will last you a barrel life.
